It’s been a while since we stopped publishing candid pictures of Natalie (The only exception is filming photos)… but this set of paparazzi photos of Paul Mescal and her having a good time outside Bar 69 in London has had some impact in the media today…

They have been friends for quite some time (probably since her stay in Australia in 2021, when she was shooting Thor Love and Thunder, and Paul also filmed Benjamin Millepied’s film debut “Carmen”). The photos are cool and pretty innocent… but Natalie is single again, and the tabloids aren’t going to miss the opportunity to pair her up with anyone who spends more than ten minutes with her. This is the case of Daily Mail, the source of the news, which hints (in a very unsubtle way) at that possibility in its headline.

Probably the simplest explanation for fans who follow Natalie is that it is a meeting of good friends. This is what this article from “The Cut” also thinks about it, but anyway…
